2.0 - Experience Formula

The formulas for RuneScape are different to that of RuneScape Classic. Previously, a set amount of experience was given per NPC you killed. Now, experience is given dependant on how much you hit on an NPC. The formulas are quite simple, and are shown below.

Melee formula

Hit x 4

This formula is used to determine the XP given to
attack, defence, or strength per hit.

The average experience received per hour is worked out on the basis of how
many you kill per minute.

XP/ Hour Formula

Creatures hit points x kills per minute x 4 x 60

The below information delineates the recommended hitpoint brackets noted above.
The below ratings, and average experience calculations are based on a player
in its respective hitpoint bracket. Also, the monetary rating is not based on the cost of fighting the monster (if applicable) as players use different food and equipment.
